Awards

I have a note for anyone who is overviewing these documents, as I don't want to simply change someone else's article without rationale. I think that this part of the awards section is completely unrelated:

"The selection committee has previously rejected a Palestinian film, Divine Intervention, citing that it originates from a country not formally recognised by the United Nations.[11] However, other recognised non-sovereign states such as Puerto Rico, Hong Kong and Taiwan have submitted films in the past."

It has nothing to do with the awards, the film Divine Intervention was not even directed by Hany, and that part about non-sovereign states recognized has nothing to do with these award ceremonies, especially not since palestine was already named palestine and not PA by the time omar was released. This whole thing jeopardizes wikipedia's neutrality claims. Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.71.153.55 (talk) 23:51, 26 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Yes, agreed. Good call. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:20, 27 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

For what it's worth, this states, "Eli Suleiman's Divine Intervention was reportedly overlooked for consideration in the 2002 Oscars because the Academy refused to recognise Palestine as a state." Thanks, Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 20:38, 27 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

This film obviously tells only 1 side of the story
